At the expense of having to 'null' out remarks that deal with bruised feelings, the reflector readers have received a number of interesting and informative thoughts regarding losses in coax and anten
I was once told by one of my Dutch friends in Holland that Scotland had been populated by Dutch people who were exiled for being spendthrifts. [[[ Has nothing to do with Towers, but sort of interest
Joe points out something of significance: (Besides giving us some good, measured data) He said, "...BTW, although I haven't been following this thread very closely, it seems to me that the addition o
